#11 - More rabbits, no murders, but a high death toll nonetheless 8:14

1+ y ago8:14

8:14

This is not a murder podcast, except for when it is. Instead, it is a quickfire general knowledge quiz podcast, with a focus on efficiency. It's not for everyone, but might it be for you? Collins Ultimate Quiz Night, the book used for questions - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Ultimate-Night-Puzzle-Books/dp/0008541604?sa-no-redirect=1. Use Amaz…

#10 - Please coax this podcast down the stairs one step at a time 7:53

1+ y ago7:53

7:53

This podcast doesn't have a ten-minute intro. It doesn't even have a ten-minute total run time. 25 Questions In About 8 Minutes Or So, by Mark Deeks, is a quickfire quiz pod, in which we (I) ask what are hopefully good general knowledge questions, and don't try to sell you anything. Well, except one book. Collins Ultimate Quiz Night, the book used …

#9 - The Spayed Cat Strut 8:09

1+ y ago8:09

8:09

Some podcasts have about 15 minutes of filler. This one doesn't. This is the ninth episode of the new quickfire quiz podcast, 25 Questions In About 8 Minutes Or So, by Mark Deeks. And one of the questions is about a spayed cat. Collins Ultimate Quiz Night, the book used for questions - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Ultimate-Night-Puzzle-Books/…

#7 - The Nuggets have a defensive problem, and it starts in the middle 7:27

1+ y ago7:27

7:27

Be as effusive with your praise of Nikola Jokic as you dare. He has earned it. The uber-Brad Miller is a sport-changing talent, an all-timer, someone with a gravitational effect on the entire league. Be fairly liberal in your appraisal of this year's Denver Nuggets, too. They are replete with offense, sporting a colossal seven players averaging dou…

#8 - Wiff waff, epitaph puns and a bit of French accent on top 8:29

1+ y ago8:29

8:29

Quick-fire quiz! 25 general knowledge questions - mixed topics, mixed difficulty - knocked out in only eight minutes or so.

#6 - The Utah Jazz might be cooling off, but no one told Lauri Markkanen 5:44

1+ y ago5:44

5:44

All good things must come to an end. Having lost five games in a row, the hot start that the Utah Jazz got out to this season seems to have fully cooled off. They came out of the gates storming with an unlikely amount of synergy, and peeled off 12 wins in their first 18 games. They were considerably better than everyone expected, including those wh…

#5 - Ayo Dosunmu and the threat of the Arenas Provision 15:01

1+ y ago15:01

15:01

Across successive NBA Collective Bargaining Agreements, instruments have been put in place to protect teams against the threat of losing their best young talents to free agency, theoretically correcting a situation brought about by years of travel in the opposite direction. Restricted free agency is an imperfect tool, though, and there does still e…

#4 - The Reimagining Of Kevin Love 7:41

1+ y ago7:41

7:41

Father time, they say, is undefeated. But you can at least negotiate with him. In what will indisputably be the latter stages of his career, Cleveland Cavaliers big man Kevin Love is holding back the inevitable. As the hair greys and the team around him transforms, he remains the mainstay, the lone holdover from the championship era, the bridge to …

#3 - DeAndre Ayton Figured It Out, This Month At Least 5:43

1+ y ago5:43

5:43

For whatever reason, Deandre Ayton has become the barometer by which the Phoenix Suns are often measured. The man who has simultaneously been a big-minute starter and an afterthought, who they did not much value yet whom they gave a maximum salary to, who they would not extend but who they would match an offer sheet for, and who can be both underwh…

The sixth episode of the new rapid-fire quiz podcast, 25 Questions In About 8 Minutes Or So, by Mark Deeks. CONTENT WARNING: There is a brief period of very bad falsetto singing in this episode.

#4 - Rabbits, murderers and cyanide 7:42

1+ y ago7:42

7:42

The fourth of four (thus far) episodes of the new rapid-fire quiz podcast, 25 Questions In About 8 Minutes Or So, by Mark Deeks. Spoken in the kind of dispassionate voice you might more commonly associate with a bailiff or insurance claims handler. Collins Ultimate Quiz Night, the book used for questions - https://smile.amazon.co.uk/Collins-Ultimat…

#2 - If This Is Close To What Tyrese Maxey Will Be, Watch Out 6:01

1+ y ago6:01

6:01

The Philadelphia 76ers drafted Tyrese Maxey with the 21st overall pick in 2020, directly between Precious Achiuwa and Zeke Nnaji. He had averaged 14.0 points, 4.2 assists and 3.9 rebounds per game in a heavy minutes share in his only season at Kentucky, but had not really shone in any area of the game; while he had few weaknesses and played with en…

#3 - The algorithms are already not working properly 8:12

1+ y ago8:12

8:12

The third episode of the new rapid-fire quiz podcast, 25 Questions In About 8 Minutes Or So, by Mark Deeks. A highly scientific series of algorithms designed to ensure a variety of subjects are covered in each episode appear not to have worked very well, and the questions in this episode lean heavily British. Mind you, so does the accent. Collins U…

#1 - The Charlotte Hornets and the value of 'culture' 7:30

1+ y ago7:30

7:30

"Culture", a thing that is both hard to define and badly yearned for, is key to creating winning sports teams. So says everyone. Basketball is no different. The late Bulls General Manager Jerry Krause was widely mocked for his (paraphrased) statement that "organisations win championships", and his clunky phrasing (which either gave or allowed for t…
